The City Council and Board of Trustees will <br /> listen to the feedback from Youth Commission students who helped organize and plan <br /> the day and recognize all students who participated. <br /> SUMMARY <br /> Youth in Government Day was held as a joint venture between the City of Pleasanton <br /> and the Pleasanton Unified School District on Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Seventy <br /> students from Amador Valley, Foothill, Village and Horizon high schools participated. <br /> The student's job shadowed a variety of personnel from both the City and the District. <br /> Students then broke into six groups to discuss and learn the process of how City <br /> Council and School Board meetings are run, how items are put on an agenda and <br /> presented, and how the public can be involved. For the both the City and District <br /> breakout groups, there was a mock City Council /Board group, a public comment group, <br /> and a staff reporting group. The groups were facilitated by Board members, School <br /> Superintendent, Assistant City Manager, Public Information staff, and other City and <br /> District management. The last hour of the day the students presented a mock School <br /> Board meeting and mock City Council meeting. <br />
